How About a Schedule Model:


PMI Defines a schedule model as:

A dynamic representation of the plan for executing the projects activities developed by the project stakeholders applying the schedule method to a scheduling tool using project specific data such as activity lists and activity attributes.

How About a Schedule Model:

Dynamic:

The model reacts to inputs as the project team expects the project to react.

20

How About a Schedule Model:


PMI Defines Activity Attributes:

0311.1

Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. Activity attributes include activity codes, predecessor activities, successor activities, logical relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, imposed dates, constraints, and assumptions.
21

De ne Critical:
CPM in Construction Management (James OBrien/Fred Plotnick):

The classic definition of critical, as on the critical path, is where total float equals zero.
PMI describes the critical path:

It is the longest path through the project.

Refined Definitions for Critical


Consider these points from the earlier definitions: An activity with zero float Determines the project finish date, either by total float or longest path Zachry definitions: Critical Activity -Any schedule activity on a critical path in a project schedule. Critical Path - The path of activities that determine the date of a critical milestone. The critical path is usually to the constrained milestone upon which liquidated damages will be assessed. A critical path could be to another, selected milestone signifying the completion of a substantive portion of the work; such as boiler hydro, first fire, etc.
